Finding Text
Criteria
Under the Uniform Guidance Special Test requirements, the Project is required to maintain
sufficient internal controls to ensure compliance with special tests.
Condition
During our audit procedures we noted that there are weaknesses in internal controls over
replacement reserve and residual receipts accounts. There is no documentation of these
accounts being reviewed by management.
Cause of Condition
The Project didn’t have adequate controls in place to ensure that replacement reserve and
residual receipts required deposits are made in accordance with the Uniform Guidance
requirements.
Effect
If the control process is not documented, it is not possible to determine if the controls are
designed and applied consistently. The inadequate documentation of the components of
internal controls could result in an inability to appropriately monitor the effectiveness of the
internal controls.
Questioned Costs: None
Identification as a Repeat Finding, if applicable – No Recommendation
We recommend that management implement a process to document formal review and
approvals of replacement reserve and residual receipts accounts.
Management’s Response
